(b) Corner lots:
(i) 0.8 metres (36”) within the Clear Vision Zone as defined on the following page.

(2) In residential areas or on properties which are either adjacent to residential areas or accessible to the public, fences should not be constructed of dangerous materials.
(3) Barbed wire or other similar dangerous materials may be permitted in industrial and commercial fences provided they are at least 1.8 metres (5.9 ft.) above grade.
(4) The location, construction and height of fences in commercial and industrial districts shall meet the requirements of Schedules “D” and “E” of the Land Use Bylaw.
(5) The fence must be located on your property. The location of your property line can be determined by your Real Property Report or an Alberta Land Surveyor. Please remember that the City owns the strip of land between your front property line and the sidewalk or curb. Fences must not be located on this City owned land. Prospective purchasers usually want proof that all buildings and fences are located within the lot and meet City of Brooks’ regulations.
(6) If your fence is located on a property line shared with a neighbour, it is a good idea to consult and reach an agreement with your neighbour prior to construction of the fence.

CLEAR VISION ZONE

This zone shall be described as a ‘triangular area formed on the corner of a site by measuring back from the corner of the property line adjacent to the public right-of-way, and joining these two points across the property’.
